"Hmph, isn't that simple? I'll just go to heaven."

Chapter Seventeen: The Story of My Son Going from a Warm-Hearted Boy to an Arrogant One

"Seriously, what am I even hesitating about? I'm already immortal, so why am I still so timid!"

Xia Yan chuckled inwardly at his own hesitation.

"I'll just go to heaven!"

At this moment, he finally understood what his Stand's true power was!

"This is outrageous! The secret of the Stand is clearly stated in its name: 'Stairway to Heaven'—doesn't that mean I'll use it to ascend to heaven?!"

In that instant, all sorts of wonderful inspirations surged into his mind, and the necessary conditions for going to heaven also emerged in his mind.

The first necessary condition is my Stand, "Stairway to Heaven".

The evolution of my Stand is the only way for humanity to overcome and change its destiny!

The second necessary condition is a heinous enemy.

He must be a heinous villain who plots to conquer the world, and the very person who inspired me to want to change my destiny! In other words—Dio!

The third necessary condition is to come into contact with and acquire the ability to use the twenty-two substitutes that are symbolized by Tarot cards.

Because the twenty-two tarot cards symbolize the twenty-two paths of the Kabbalah ritual.

The next necessary condition is eleven secret codes.

Kingdom, Foundation, Glory, Victory, Beauty, Severity, Benevolence, Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom, Crown.

These are the eleven points that exist on the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

The next necessary condition is courage; I must have the courage to temporarily abandon my Stand.

Once my gradually evolving Stand has acquired twenty-two powers, a new life will be born, requiring a response to eleven secret codes to merge with me.

The last necessary condition is the location: go to the intersection of the Prime Meridian and the equator, and wait for the next full moon to rise so that you can ascend to heaven!

Thinking of this, Xia Yan felt a sudden clarity in his mind. The magnificent figure of "Stairway to Heaven," like a fallen angel, stood behind him, spreading its wings that blotted out the sky.

A gust of wind, carried by the flapping of its wings, howled through the narrow prison space, shoving the two prison guards who had accompanied it off balance.

Jotaro's hat was also blown off.

Only Holly, who was standing next to Xia Yan with her arm around him, was completely unaffected.

Jotaro didn't pick up his beloved hat, which he never took off even when sleeping or diving and which had become one with his hair. Instead, he looked at Natsuhiko's Stand with surprise.

"What's going on! This is so strange! It's a closed space called a prison, but suddenly a strong wind has suddenly started blowing!"

"Could it be...could it be that evil spirits really exist?!"

The two prison guards, unable to see the body double, frantically looked around.

This ability, which was beyond their comprehension, instilled in them a deep-seated fear of the unknown.

"Evil spirit! Dad, have you been possessed by an evil spirit too!?"

Upon seeing this, Jotaro's expression turned serious, and the blood vessels and veins around his eyes bulged, making his handsome face, which was almost as good as Natsuhiko's, look more ferocious.

White eyes.

Perhaps because Jotaro was born after Natsuhiko acquired the Byakugan, as his bloodline, just as he inherited Natsuhiko's Ripple, Jotaro also inherited the Byakugan ability.

However, perhaps because he was not a Stand user, his Byakugan was unable to detect Stands and spiritual energy before.

At this point, Jotaro, who had awakened his Stand ability, could already see the spiritual energy representing his Stand through his Byakugan.

"I saw it! I saw the evil spirit wrapped around you, Dad! It was a far more intense and terrifying aura than the evil spirit wrapped around me!"

"What on earth is going on? Could it be that our family has been cursed by an evil spirit?!"

Jotaro's description made Natsuhiko's lips twitch slightly.

He never expected that his usually serious son, who had been in junior high school, would have such an adorable and silly side.

Clearly, the other party had misunderstood something, mistaking the spiritual energy he observed with his white eyes for an evil spirit clinging to a person.

After all, he could only see spiritual energy after he awakened his Stand, which is what is called the evil spirit that possessed him. It was inevitable that he would mistake it for the evil spirit's true form.

In fact, this idea is not wrong, since Stands are the product of the combination of spirit and Stand energy.

Natsuhiko's spiritual power was forged through the combined efforts of his other selves across multiple worlds, making it far superior to Jotaro's.

If Jotaro's spiritual power seemed to surge like a landslide and a tsunami, then Natsuhiko's spiritual power, as perceived by Byakugan, was like a bottomless, unfillable abyss.

However, his concerned gaze and anxious attitude still brought Xia Yan a sense of relief.

Although his temper has become a little wilder due to puberty syndrome, his concern for his family is genuine.

My painstaking education over the past ten years has not failed; it has only turned him from a warm-hearted man into an arrogant one.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan's face once again showed a gentle smile.

Chapter 18 Jotaro in his adolescence won't dream about Muscular Platinum.

For the first time, she mastered the method to overcome fate and ascend to heaven, and also received the care of her proud son; the two joys overlapped.

This double joy brought even more joy.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan couldn't help but smile, finding it even harder to control than an AK.

"Oh my~ Is Jotaro worried about his dad? I'm so happy. My Jotaro has always been such a kind and gentle boy."

Standing next to Xia Yan, Holly witnessed the touching scene between father and son. She clasped her hands together in a gesture of gratitude, and a smile of relief appeared on her bright eyes and face.

"Shut up, you stinking woman!"

Upon hearing Holly's words, Jotaro seemed embarrassed and yelled at her, then picked up his hat from the ground, put it on his head, and covered his eyes so that no one could see his emotions.

To avoid angering Jotaro, Natsuhiko refrained from further provoking him and instead began explaining the abilities of Stands.

"Jotaro, my precious son, your father knows very well what kind of evil spirit you're talking about—"

"That's neither an evil spirit, nor a guardian spirit, nor any other kind of spiritual entity. It's a physical form condensed from your own spiritual power, called—the power of a substitute!"

“I mastered this power more than 20 years ago, and now I can control it at will.”

My stand-in's name is—

"—Stairway to Heaven."

At this point, Xia Yan manipulated his Stand to pass through the prison's iron bars and walk to Jotaro's side, then pointed his index finger at Jotaro's forehead.

Jotaro waved his hand impatiently, trying to shake off the Stand's hand, but he only managed to swing it at empty air.

Then, as if he understood something, he slapped the "Stairway to Heaven" again at the right hand that was pointing at his forehead, and this time he successfully slapped it down.

At the same time, a muscular, purple-bodied, muscular, and golden shoulder armor-wearing humanoid phantom appeared in front of him.

Jotaro had just attached his Stand to his hand to successfully pry open Natsuhiko's Stand's fingers.

"To be able to fully release and control one's own Stand after only seeing it once? What an amazing talent!"

"Alright, Jotaro, now that you know you don't have any evil spirits, stop being so childish. Come home with me and Mom. A real man shouldn't make his mother worry."

"Tch, this old man is so annoying, don't lecture me like that."

Despite his verbal rebuttals, Jotaro obediently walked out of prison.

After all, he initially locked himself up only because he was afraid that the evil spirit inside him would hurt others. Now that he has learned how to control his Stand, he naturally no longer needs to stay in prison.

"That's wonderful, darling! I knew you'd persuade Jotaro to come out. This is your reward—"

"—Muma～"

Seeing that Jotaro had willingly walked out of prison, Holly excitedly rushed into Natsuhiko's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Ignoring her surroundings, she stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss.

"Hmph, a kiss isn't enough as a reward. Go back and change into that outfit, the one you kept at the bottom of the box."

"Ugh, that outfit is so embarrassing, but as a reward..."

Seeing his parents openly displaying their affection in prison, Jotaro sighed and lowered his hat.

"Yale yaale daze~"

……

One day later, at the new Tokyo International Airport.

"Daddy, over here! I'm over here, Daddy!"

Seeing the strong old man, who stood out like a crane among chickens at 195 centimeters tall, Holly excitedly jumped up and down and called out to him.

After attracting the other person's attention, she suddenly threw herself into their arms, completely disregarding the public setting and playing around without restraint.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Joestar."

After the father and daughter had finished arguing, Xia Yan went over to greet his father-in-law.

"Oh, it really has been a long time. Even though we're both forty-five-year-old uncles and aunties, you haven't aged at all. You've taken good care of Holly, Xia Yan."

"It's alright. If you want, Mr. Joestar, you probably look to be in your early thirties at most."

"Of course! I was really strong when I was young! Hehehe."

Faced with Xia Yan's praise, Qiao accepted it without hesitation, revealing a smug smile and exposing his American thuggish nature.

"But that would be really tough. 'Effort' and 'cheer up' are two words I hate the most!"

"Besides, growing old together with your loved one is a British romance, something a kid like you wouldn't understand."

“Really? I’d much rather live forever with my lover.” Xia Yan smiled and shrugged, then pointed at Joestar with both hands and said, “And Mr. Joestar, you’re American, you know.”

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, he suddenly remembered that he had changed his nationality after he turned eighteen, and he clutched his head with both hands.

"OH NO! Don't eat pickled radishes!"
